00:20.960 --> 00:26.720
Made by Liggett & Myers, the first major tobacco company to give you a complete line of quality

00:26.720 --> 00:37.400

00:37.400 --> 00:40.720
Favorite two-way smoke is Chesterfield.

00:40.720 --> 00:43.720
That's right.

00:43.720 --> 01:03.920
Now here's our star, Perry Como.

01:03.920 --> 01:04.920
Thank you very much.

01:04.920 --> 01:10.480
Well, we'd like to come in and sort of open up our sample case of top tunes for radio

01:10.480 --> 01:17.040
and TV and I have some very wonderful demonstrators with me, the Fontaines, Mitchell Ayers, Dick

01:17.040 --> 01:23.760
Stark and of course, unlike some salesmen, we come to your door, we don't give away any

01:23.760 --> 01:28.800
free brushes, so we hope sincerely that you don't give us the brush.

01:28.800 --> 01:30.240
Oh no!

01:30.240 --> 01:34.080
Oh yes, that's a joke.

01:34.080 --> 01:43.720
Our first offering tonight is an old classic arranged for sort of a best pocket symphony

01:43.720 --> 01:46.160
and four voices.

01:46.160 --> 01:47.160
We hope you like it.

01:47.160 --> 01:48.160
Mitch, please.

01:48.160 --> 02:10.680
Way down in New Orleans, in the land of the dream, see, there's the Garden of Eden, that's

02:10.680 --> 02:11.680
what I mean.

02:11.680 --> 02:18.680
Three old babies with flashing eyes, softly whisper with tender sighs.

02:18.680 --> 02:19.680
Stop!

02:19.680 --> 02:24.680
We want to give your lady fair a little smile.

02:24.680 --> 02:26.560
Oh, won't you stop?

02:26.560 --> 02:31.680
You bet your life you'll linger there a little while.

02:31.680 --> 02:43.680
There is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens, way down yonder in New Orleans.

03:01.680 --> 03:15.680
Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile.

03:15.680 --> 03:16.680
You bet your life you'll linger there a little while.

03:16.680 --> 03:23.680
They've got ankles right here on earth wearing little blue jeans, way down yonder in New

03:23.680 --> 03:24.680
Orleans.

03:24.680 --> 03:51.680
Today, you hear these three words everywhere.

03:51.680 --> 04:02.680
Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile.

04:02.680 --> 04:15.680
Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile.

04:15.680 --> 04:25.680
Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile.

04:25.680 --> 04:36.680
Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile.

04:36.680 --> 04:56.680
The smoke today is the best cigarette ever made, and best for you.

04:56.680 --> 05:07.680
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.

05:07.680 --> 05:19.680
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.

05:19.680 --> 05:37.680
Then you and I came wandering by, and lost in a sigh were we.

05:37.680 --> 05:47.680
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.

05:47.680 --> 05:58.680
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.

05:58.680 --> 06:08.680
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.

06:08.680 --> 06:27.680
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.

06:27.680 --> 06:45.680
Da da da da dee da, you took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.

06:57.680 --> 07:00.680
Thank you.

07:00.680 --> 07:04.680
Truthfully, friends, I don't know what to say about this next thing, but if you'll take

07:04.680 --> 07:08.680
my advice, you will creep or crawl to the nearest easy chair and just kind of brace

07:08.680 --> 07:13.680
yourself, because the orchestra's going to take the lid off of a musical bundle from

07:13.680 --> 07:16.680
Britain called The Creep.

07:16.680 --> 07:17.680
Creep.

07:17.680 --> 07:22.680
Now, in case you ever, you want to try it, our choreographer, Lee Morrison, and Pete

07:22.680 --> 07:25.680
Gladke are going to kind of demonstrate the thing for you.

07:25.680 --> 07:27.680
Are you ready, Mitchell? Lee?

07:55.680 --> 07:58.680
Creep.

08:26.680 --> 08:28.680
Creep.

08:28.680 --> 08:56.680
Creep.

08:56.680 --> 08:59.680
Creep.

09:26.680 --> 09:43.680
Creep.

09:44.680 --> 09:49.680
You've seen them in movies, in supper clubs, and on TV, and of course, it's Peter

09:49.680 --> 09:54.680
Lynd Hayes and Mary Healey, America's favorite husband-and-wife comedy team.

09:54.680 --> 10:00.680
are typical of smokers everywhere who are saying Chesterfields for me.

10:00.680 --> 10:04.680
Peter goes for the king size.

10:04.680 --> 10:08.680
Yes, I like a longer smoke, so naturally I go for the kings.

10:08.680 --> 10:12.680
And of course, Chesterfield is the only cigarette for me.

10:12.680 --> 10:14.680
Mary likes regulars.

10:14.680 --> 10:19.680
Yes, I've been smoking Chesterfield regulars for about seven years now.

10:19.680 --> 10:23.680
They have a fine taste, and they're good and mild.

10:23.680 --> 10:26.680
Chesterfields for me.

10:26.680 --> 10:28.680
You hear it everywhere.

10:28.680 --> 10:33.680
Smoke America's favorite two-way cigarette.

10:33.680 --> 10:39.680
The Chesterfield you smoke today is the best cigarette ever made,

10:39.680 --> 10:42.680
